2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[jman]

I just talked to Jeep chat. I was told My 2dr Rubi, Red, HT, MT is currently KZ. Cheryl said ready to ship, but no ship date. Ordered 12/23

No offense but that seems unbelievable. For your sake I hope it's true.

I'm not negative, I'm realistic.

I know Jeep chat isn’t always the most reliable source of information, but here’s what I got from mine. Now mind you I don’t know how early you were able to order 2 doors so this info may or may not be any good. Anyways in my chat today I got the 2 door production is to begin sometime in April statement, then was told that mine probably wouldn’t be built until sometime in May since I ordered in early February and that the orders from SEPTEMBER - January would be filled first. Obviously that should be the case, first come first serve, but were they even able to be ordered way back in September? If so then May would be a pretty realistic answer from her.

When I went in to my dealer in March, he was surprised he could even order the 2 door, and I was the first one he had put in. So maybe there isn't such a huge backlog after all? That would be good.

i sort of wonder the same thing - like it’s just these forums and a few thousand others, so maybe 5-10k total 2 door preorders, in which case they should fly through production once it’s running

my bet is that 2 door drops to 10 percent of wrangler sales within 2 to 3 years. it’s still floating toward 20 percent as of last year through the JK run

Perhaps if they spent more hours building the Jeep their overall customer acceptance would be better

I wonder if the dealerships know something's up? I just got a call from one of the dealerships I went shopping at back in February , asking me if I was still in the market cause they have some great dea

I hope they don't fall to 10% FCA might decide its not worth building the 2drs anymore. We see how much importance they placed on producing the 2 drs this year.
